11,000 Virgins 1492-1496 Oil on panel Victoria and Albert Museum, London In 1903, the famous art historian J.M. Friedlender attributed the Scenes from the Life of St Ursula, today in the Groeninge Museum, Bruges, to a painter he called the Master of the Legend of St Ursula. He saw this artist as a particularly talented disciple of Hans Memling and Rogier van der Weyden. In 1921 it was proposed that this anonymous artist was one Pieter Casembroot, a painter from Bruges who had apprenticed to Arnout de Mol, before becoming a master himself in 1459, none of whose works had hitherto been identified. Today, this hypothesis is widely accepted. Casembroot's most productive years were those between 1480 and 1500. We also know that, in around 1480, he began to receive so many commissions that he had to follow the example of his more illustrious colleagues and set up a studio in his own name. , Artist: MASTER of the Legend of St. Ursula , The Martyrdom of St. Ursula and the 11,000 Virgins , 1451-1500 , Flemish , painting , religious
